What can one do on a KDE system?
As far as I can see, seahorse is a Gnome speciality.
Yes, but it won't hurt much. Do a "yum install seahorse" (it will have one
or
two dependencies), use it to set an empty password, then "yum remove seahorse"
and its dependency, and you are done. :-)
Would knetworkmanager be any help?
I tried it instead of nm-applet, but somehow didn't feel stable enough. Since
nm-applet was favored to knetworkmanager on the very KDE spin, I guess the
latter is not quite there yet. Besides, I got used to nm-applet, and it works
ok for me.
This NetworkManager password business seems completely crazy to me.
The whole thing has nothing to do with NM itself. The issue is between nm-
applet and default keyring (Gnome) or knetworkmanager and kde wallet (KDE).
It's all about where to store the wireless keys and who can read them.
Best, :-)
